Mateus 28

Mateus 28

Meyer - Our Daily Homily - Matthew 28:5 The angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye! The emphasis is on the pronoun ye. The angel meant, As for these sentinels that are quaking in dread and becoming as dead men, it is meet and natural that they should do so. They are strangers to Him whom ye seek, and are set here to do the work of his foes. But there is no need for those that seek Jesus to fear. Are you seeking the forgiveness of your sins through his blood? Fear net be! Do not fear that they are too many to be forgiven. Do not fear that you have not the right faith. Do not fear that you will find his door shut. Do not fear that He will always be remanding you of what you have cost Him. Do not fear that He will let you drift from Him again. Ye seek the Lord who was crucified. Fear not! Are you seeking a closer identification with his death? Fear not! There is no possibility of realizing the life which is life indeed, except through identification with the death and grave of Jesus. We must sink deep down into reunion with Him who lay there as our representative. But as God takes us at our word, and begins to strip us of all we had taken pride in; as the fear of what may be involved crosses our hearts with its chill dread — again we may be assured as we hear the angel say, “Fear not, ye who seek Jesus that was crucified.” And when at last you are seeking to follow Him through the valley of shadow — Fear not! You will never see Him as He is, till this mortal is surrendered, and the house not made with hands entered. But it the heart faints, and the flesh fails, fear not ye, who through that mysterious change seek Jesus that was crucified, but now liveth for evermore at the right hand of God.

He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him. Acts 2:24+ “But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. HIS TOMB IS EMPtY HE IS RISEN! He is (ouk - absolutely) not here, for (gar = term of explanation - explains why their search was in vain, because) He has risen (egeiro), just as He said - Jesus kept His promise! He always does! He has risen (egeiro) is in the divine passive which speaks of Jesus' resurrection by an outside power, the Father and the Spirit (even though Jesus clearly had a role Jn 10:18+). Just as He said - In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus had repeatedly predicted His resurrection (Mt 12:40 Mt 16:21 Mt 17:9,23 Mt 20:19 Mt 26:31,32 Mt 27:63) Luke 24:8+ records that the women "remembered His words." The angelic reminder of Jesus' resurrection predictions would assure the women that Jesus had not experienced an unexpected fate. As an aside, the women coming to embalm Jesus was proof that they like the other disciples, they had not understood His prediction of resurrection. John MacArthur on He has risen (egeiro) - Has risen translates a Greek aorist passive (ED: I LIKE TO CALL IT A DIVINE PASSIVE) and can also be rendered, “has been raised.” Jesus Himself had power to give up His life and to take it up again (John 10:18). But Scripture makes clear that He also was raised by the power of the Father (Rom. 6:4; Gal. 1:1; 1 Pet. 1:3) and of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:11). The entire Trinity participated in the resurrection of Jesus. (SEE The MacArthur Commentary) David
